be kind. to you. - https://mailchi.mp/f612fca669d8/bye-bye-perfect-17444437

In The Heart of Yoga, Desikachar says that yoga begins with relationship — and the first one is with yourself.

It’s easy to forget that.

To get busy doing, fixing, improving, proving.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, the voice we use with ourselves gets hard.

It’s noticing what’s there and not rushing to fix it.

It’s giving yourself the space to breathe before reacting.

Kindness is so quiet.

That’s where yoga really begins.

Some days I feel like I’m just on repeat — scrolling, distracted, going through the motions but not really living.

I know I’m off track when sleep and digestion slip, and I start making choices I regret.

I’m learning to read the signals sooner, to see less than perfect as okay, and to embrace being human.

Each stumble makes the journey uniquely mine — and the mat is where it all makes sense again.

Yoga offers a different rhythm. Ahimsa (non-harming) asks me to soften. Santosha (contentment) reminds me enough is already here. Tapas (discipline) becomes the courage to rest.

I’m choosing presence over pace. Less chasing, more noticing. Less striving, more living.

Time to nourish -

Winter can feel heavy. The light fades early, our energy dips, and everything seems to slow down. But that’s not a bad thing. It’s nature calling us back to ourselves.

Endings, beginnings & the space in between -

This past week, I handed in my final university assignment. After five years of studying part-time while working full-time, I’ve officially completed my second degree. I’m also preparing to start a brand-new job. And as I write this, I’m quietly reinvesting in my yoga practice—not just as a ...

Free new year's day online class

Before every new year begins, I like to take some real time to reflect on the year that has been - sitting with all the lessons I’ve had, especially the hard ones and celebrating my triumphs big and small.

I am hosting a special 90 minute class this Wednesday January 1 from 9.30am-11am Sydney time.

All are welcome.

Both yoga and science steer us towards a profound understanding. Yoga, with its deep roots in harmonious living, nudges us to find the equilibrium between effort and ease, inviting bliss through presence and simplicity. 🌿 "
